Baby Food Jar Cap= Letter Help

Are you looking for a way to reuse some of those caps off of your baby food jars? Then here is a great idea. After you clean them simply use a permanent marker and write letters on each cap. I did a set of capital, lower case, and numbers. After you have completed that there are an endless amount of activities you can use them for.

Our first activity was very simple. I grabbed our letter flash cards and my daughter had to match the letters, say the letter, say the sound, and trace each letter.

A few other ideas:

-make words

-practice names

-match lower case with upper case

-put the alphabet in order

-find objects that start with that letter

-I bet you can come up with other ideas too...Please make sure you come back and share your ideas. :)

You can start working on letter sounds too once the letter names are down. You could even do letter combinations, like "sh", "ch", "th", and "ing"

Other ideas: -memory game (find upper and lowercase letter pairs) - rhyming words (spell out a short word, like log, and then replace the l with other letters to make other words (like bog, dog, frog, etc.) - say words and have her pick out the first and last sounds she hears (for example, the first sound of pencil is p and the last sound is l) - Read a book with her and look for specific letters in the book, reminding her of what sound they make

These are all things that the kindergarteners that I work with practice a lot.
